Releasing Our Dragons: Letting go of addictive and compulsive behaviours, (Hardcover)

No matter where we may see ourselves on the addiction spectrum, it is possible to become free from these deeply ingrained unhealthy patterns.

Many of us engage in addictive and compulsive behaviours to avoid our pain and discomfort and to distract ourselves from the challenges life brings us. Former teacher Dianne Szymanski Krynicki offers this semi-autobiographical guide to recognizing and letting go of addictive behaviours, whether they are being "managed" or concealed or are wreaking havoc and completely taking over our lives.

In Releasing Our Dragons, Dianne offers wisdom and encouragement from diverse sources, such as Vipassana meditation, mindfulness, and Alcoholics Anonymous, to help readers get to the heart of their substance abuse or other addictive behaviours and learn to walk a path of strength, growth, and liberation.
